Congratulations!
In honor of Earth Day, PBS will air an Earth Day-themed episode of the animated preschool series, “Sid the Science Kid” entitled, “The Dirt on Dirt.” This episode will air April 22 on the popular PBS KIDS preschool destination, an educational, hosted two-hour morning television block.
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
In an Earth Day-themed episode, Sid wants to know what makes dirt so dirty. At school, Sid and his friends discover that dirt is really important to the Earth because it helps things grow, and it’s also filled with tiny rocks, pieces of leaves, and even living things like bugs and worms!
MY REVIEW
Sid the Science Kid is one of our family’s favorite cartoons. I love how it focuses on helping children understand the world around them. This show is aimed at kids 3 yrs to 6 yrs old and is presented in a fun way that really keeps my girls attention.
In “The Dirt on Dirt”, Sid and his class finds out what dirt is really made of. This was particularly interesting to us because it’s something that we’ve never really thought about. It helped Girlie Girl understand the cycle of plant life and how things grow. It was the perfect episode for Earth Day!

Hopefully we’ll have time to go on a hike, or atleast a walk, if nothing else!
We will be walking to school instead of driving to school and will also plant a bush in our yard.
Although we have stopped using non-rechargeable batteries, we still have a supply of used regular ones to dispose of. I’ve finally found a place that will recycle them and we will go there for earth day.
using clothe diapers.
Spring cleaning the house and yard.
we’re going to the park
We will be taking a huge load of aluminum cans and scrap wire (my husband works for a telecommunications company) to be recycled, and then we will spend the day outside with all our animals (we have a farm). We try to live green all the time. Its easier to teach if you practice it.

Hopefully doing some geocaching, and bringing out any trash we find on the way in.

Honestly, we don’t have any plans for earthday. I am thinking that perhaps we will go outside and work on our garden. It needs to be cleaned of leaves and debris as well as cleared of weeds. I also have a couple of Easter plants that need to be planted there.

I’ll be visiting an Earth Day celebration at my local park.

We don’t recognize “Earth Day”. That always seems to me like the equivalent of worshipping a pagan god like “Mother Nature” instead of “God” who has already told us of the demise of the world and in whom we put our trust. The earth will be here, alive and well, long after mankind is gone.
We’ll be taking the kids to clean up our local beach.
We will be planting trees on earth day. Thanks for the chance to win!

Earth Day is a constant with our family.We conserve energy,compost,recycle and walk to where we have to go as much as possible.
For me, everyday is Earth Day and I have tried to get my friends to follow for years. If we all work together, WOW!
We will be going through our clothes and the kids’ toys and finding as much as we can to give away to our local family shelter. We then are planning on planting some drought resistant plants and flowers in the yard.

The idea was to plant the crabapple tree we bought, but I’ve to fix a water issue first.
We don’t have plans as a family for Earthday as it’s still too cold here to plant a garden (hopefully a month from now we can do that to celebrate EarthDay later). At my son’s preschool, however, they have plans to do a safe litter pickup in the neighbourhood.
Would love this!
